Removal of hair via waxing is a common practice that literally dates back to the ancient Egyptians when a sugar solution was used as wax. Since then waxing of hair has undergone many changes adapting itself to constantly developing and evolving societies.
Up until very recently people preferred going to salons for taking some personal grooming services like waxing but then again waxing at home services seems to be the new turnaround. The only question that is frequently raised is how safe are waxing at home services as it involves carrying out the procedure at someone’s home with many other questions following the suit like what about any accidental spilling of the wax and will the beautician clean up the mess if any post service
One-time use kits and use of disinfectants/sanitizers
- First of all, the waxing process remains the same if it is being taken at home the only difference being the change in environment from a regular salon to that of a home. And secondly, since waxing requires multiple applications of wax on different body parts that is why the beauticians/groomers have been strictly instructed to use one-time use only spatula which can be discarded post use unlike the soft knife that is being used by multiple customers and re-dipped indefinitely in the same wax. Since spatula is to be used only once per customer it only makes the services super reliable and safe to take.
- What adds more credibility to the process of waxing at home is the use of one-time use sheets and tissues where there is no reusability and hence no chance of contamination and infection.
- Moreover, the wax heater that is to be used is first sprayed with a disinfectant and a healthy rub of sanitizer is used by the beauticians on the gloves and other equipments as well just in case to avoid any contamination from the previous service.
- The wax strips used are also discarded carefully in black polybags which the beauticians/groomers carry. And just in case there is any accidental spilling of wax (which is next to impossible as the beauticians/groomers are highly trained professionals with loads of experience and perform their work meticulously) it is immediately taken care of.
- Immediate washing
One huge plus of waxing at home services that are mostly overlooked is the accessibility of taking a bath and washing oneself off immediately since, in case of waxing at regular parlors, it leaves behind a sticky and gooey feeling of wax still sticking to your body parts which leads to irritation causing huge discomfort.
- Price
The cost of waxing at home services is one-third the price of waxing at a regular parlor which only adds to the positives of at-home services.
These are a few of many other reasons which are leading to people booking waxing at home services and the number keeps growing. Waxing at home services in Delhi and other metropolitan cities have gained a lot of momentum and they seem to swing further as more people are starting to trust the validity of waxing at home services.
